High and Ultra High Pressure Water Jetting

Intech Environmental Limited are specialists in High / Ultra High Pressure Water Jetting. As a member of the Water Jetting Association, all of our operators are highly trained and experienced in accordance with the WJA.

Our reputation of delivering on time, within budget in a safe and sustainable way makes us a UK market leader in this discipline, and enables our clients to keep their process plants, extractions systems and drainage lines clear.

High Pressure Water Jetting is ideally suited to general deposit cleaning and removing coatings and surface preparation. When preparing surfaces for inspection or new coatings, water jetting offers many advantages over traditional shot and grit blasting (such as no secondary damage, contamination or profiling), and is safer, quicker, cleaner and more versatile.

Our highly skilled and experienced jetting crews are working with pressure ranging from 200 psi to 18000 psi. Our large fleet of pumps can clean most contaminants with particular emphasis on heavy industry such as:

• Boilers
• Steam drums
• Storage tanks
• Anaerobic digester plants

For more intense jetting requirements we can also provide Ultra High Pressure Water Jetting. This has proved successful where refractory removal has been required.

High Pressure Water Jetting is a high risk activity and as such Intech Environmental has developed a single operation jetting system, which requires non-direct lancing from the operative, and has been used successfully in the following environments:

• Heat exchangers
• Steam drums
• Mud rums
• Economiser banks (tube and fin elements are particularly well cleaned without the risk of damage from high pressures)

Benefits to our clients include:

• Rail length is easily customisable to match the size of job
• Installed on its own modular frame to suit size and dimensions
• Adaptable to clean various types of boilers
• Lightweight, modular design for single operator use
• Slot and rail, direct drive technology
• Independent control of forward and reverse feed rate, enable operator to set dwell time for optimal cleaning

High Pressure Water Jetting in Confined Spaces

Whilst we aim to clean without the need for confined space entry, where man-entry into confined space is required, safety is always our main priority. Our skilled operators use the latest protective equipment, receive ongoing training and undertake regular medical checks.

Tube Cleaning

At Intech Environmental Limited we are experienced enough to understand that tubes are entirely different from pipe cleaning. Tubes are smaller and tightly clustered together to form bundles or banks. We use a range of high pressure pumps combined with specialist jets to unclog tubes to keep the production and heat transfer efficient. The requirement to clean can occur through deposits being laid in water treatment process and corrosion in areas such as:

• Heat exchanger
• Fin – fans
• Economiser tube banks
• Header pipes

 

We provide highly comprehensive method statements and risk assessments for each project.

 

Our client’s needs remain at the heart of our service which is why we take the time

July 2021 - I would like to personally thank you and your teams efforts in supporting [client] delivery of the 2021 Annual Outage, as with 2020’s Outage the team were very client focused and got the job done with minimal support from the site team which makes our lives that much easier to focus on the other work fronts and emergent work. If I could issue medals for key players during the outage both [supervisor] and [supervisor] would receive one, whenever asked to look at another job or safety issue they did not hesitate in assessing what was needed and provided a solution to get the job done, two outstanding leaders within a competent and safety conscious team.

June 2021 - Where to start… The Intech team have behaved in the most accommodating, professional and effective manner. The finish achieved has been superb. I could go on, but to summarise I have been very impressed by the whole team. [Operative] was great and they upheld our safety standards to the satisfaction of our on site H&S officer. Our next outage will be starting September 2021. Can you accommodate for similar work scope but also include – Boiler & Economiser Shot Blasting? Thanks for the great work by your team. We look forward to welcoming them back.

July 2020 - During our outage Intech have carried out an incredible amount of work as directed and under the watchful eye of your Lead Supervisor Andy Woodward. I just wanted to let you know that the entire team that you sent are a credit to your company. They have worked incredibly hard and maintained complete professionalism throughout what has been a challenging time. At no point did they complain or moan about anything even when the situation and the conditions were not ideal (Mark almost evaporating in the extreme whilst doing the walking floor and feed screw springs to mind!!). All of the work was completed to a very high standard which is evident in the pictures. I would be grateful if you could pass on our thanks to all the team and we look forward to working with you again in the future.
